About New Community Bible Fellowship

New Community Bible Fellowship is a non-denominational, Bible teaching, Christ-centered church located in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. We strive to live out what we believe the six key purposes of a healthy church: 1) to disciple members in understanding and living the Bible, 2) to be a people of prayer, 3) to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, 4) to be a witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world, 5) to serve according to our Spiritual gifts, and 6) to love and encourage one another in the Body of Christ. As a church we are committed to developing each of our members into fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. We are a small group driven ministry- thus striving to see every member involved in a small group within the church. New Community is a church plant, started sixteen years ago in 1994 by our Sr. Pastor Kevin James. Our membership is currently at 2651 and we offer two identical services each Sunday morning. We have strong programs for both children and adults. Our average attendance on Sunday mornings is about 1200 to 1400 between our two services and other educational and children’s ministries being conducted. We have over 50 active ministries, which allow every member to find a place to serve in the church. We are a predominately African-American church with a small amount of racial diversity. Our worship style is contemporary gospel. Our ministry has already transcended beyond local to a regional level and it is our goal to grow into a world-class church ministry for the gospel of Jesus Christ. We hope to accomplish our ever-expanding vision by passionately and urgently living out our purposes of helping lost people come to Jesus, helping saved people live for Jesus and helping hurting people through the power of Jesus.
